1 Sherry Pete May 7, 2023 HIM – 310 Professor Evelyn Thomas HIE Analysis Paper Electronic health information exchange (HIE) improves patient care through access and secure sharing of vital medical information between health care providers, patients, and physicians. HIEs offer the following benefits: Reduces medication and medical errors, improving patient safety and quality. Promotes patient involvement and consumer education. Eliminates unnecessary paperwork, increasing efficiency. Tools to support clinical decision making for improving care and treatment for caregivers. Reducing unnecessary or redundant testing. Increases public health monitoring and reporting. Information about health can be collected and distributed through Arizona's Health Information Exchange (HIE). The HIE is fed by over 900 Arizona organizations. This program includes hospital, lab, hospice, post-acute care settings, behavioral health professionals, and physical health professionals as participants. Information about healthcare organizations and electronic health records can be exchanged securely via the New Mexico Health Information Collaborative (NMHIC). In New Mexico, the number of health information exchanges (HIEs) is growing rapidly. 58% of the beds in hospitals are connected to HIEs, and 73% of emergency room visits are via HIEs.
2 Since 1982, Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) has been Arizona's Medicaid program. In addition to providing health care to individuals and families based on their income level, the federal and state governments fund AHCCCS. As part of the Centennial Care program, the Human Services Department is responsible for overseeing provider improvement. The resources listed in this section are available to healthcare providers (including hospitals and private practitioners). According to Arizona law, a physician must make a patient's medical record available upon request in writing. Medical records requests should always be made in writing to your doctor. Patients often sign release forms, but a written request is always preferred. NMDH is required by law to maintain the confidentiality of your health information and inform you of its legal duties and privacy practices. Information about who else can see your health information, your rights, and how to file a complaint are explained in New Mexico's Health Information Privacy Policy. For NMDOH to maintain a health record, it must be for a facility or a public health office. You are required to be notified if your care provider participates in the Arizona Health Information Exchange. During your visit to a participating provider, you will also receive a notification regarding HIPAA privacy. By using the Arizona Health Information Exchange, you can choose whether to share your health information. You can opt out of sharing your health information, which means that it will not be available to providers who may be using the tools of the HIE. Reviewing, New Mexico is considered an Opt-Out state, since health information about patients may be exchanged without consent. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) laws require that access be justified in terms of treatment, payment, or health care operations to be granted access. Although patients can completely reject health information
